Cuishe is the 400 Conejos that mezcal people actually recommend. Named for the Centzon Totochtin, the Four Hundred Rabbit gods of Aztec drunkenness, the brand is Mexico's best-selling mezcal — and this red-label expression blends its espadín with cuishe, an Agave karwinskii that grows as a tall, thin trunk in the dry valleys of Oaxaca and brings a distinctive herbal, mineral character no other agave has. Made in the communities of Tlacolula and Miahuatlán, the agaves are cooked in a traditional conical earthen oven over wood, fermented, and distilled in small batches, bottled at 40% ABV. 400 Conejos describes floral and herbal aromas with a hint of firewood and ash, subtly sweet cooked agave with floral and earthy tones, and a complex, smooth finish with lingering smoke. Mezcal Reviews' tasters call it the best of the range — clean, light-fruited, with a decent hint of cuishe coming through, red pepper, smoke, and a burnt-corn finish, with the honest caveat that it's lighter than a serious single-village cuishe and the karwinskii doesn't linger. Expect roasted agave and green herbs on the nose, a palate of singed grass, cracked pepper, and clean agave sweetness, and a short-to-medium finish with woody smoke and a lime-like brightness. For a Mezcal Negroni, a herbal Margarita, or a first neat pour that shows what a second agave adds, it's the red rabbit — the one to buy.Buy 400 Conejos Cuishe Mezcal online with fast shipping right to your door.
